ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Predictors of Remission and Renal Outcomes in Lupus Nephritis in Assuit University Hospitals," is focused on understanding how to improve kidney health in patients with lupus nephritis, a condition that affects the kidneys in people who have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main goal is to find out what factors—like certain medical histories, lab results, and kidney tissue samples—are linked to better or worse kidney health in these patients.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be over 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of lupus nephritis through a kidney biopsy. If you have serious conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, or severe heart diseases, or if you have mental health issues, you would not be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo a thorough medical history review, a physical exam, and some tests to assess your disease activity, along with a kidney biopsy. This research could help doctors understand more about how to manage kidney health in lupus patients.
